Decorating with Lamps

Contemporary Fireplace Dress Up Your Home With Modern Design

Contemporary fireplaces can be found in many styles, materials, and can be incorporated with many different fuel types (natural gas, electric, propane, etc.). Their modern look tends to get them away from the wood and brick look of the traditional fireplaces. These modern fireplaces don’t require as much space as their predecessors, allowing for many more installation options. There are even some models that will hang directly on the wall, while others will fit into a small cavity or recess directly in the wall.

Gas and electricity have helped in all but doing away with wood as a fireplace fuel. An electric fireplace doesn’t have the same exhaust requirments making it more portable and modular opening them up to many more styles and designs. Typically, when you think of a contemporary fireplace, it is one that belongs in homes with a modern design and yet retains the warmth and feeling of a fireplace. They might have a metalic finish or geometric shape and can be placed just so in any part of the room making them stylish and unique.

There are literally thousands of options to choose from when you consider the color, style, material and size of the fireplace and the mantel. Because of their relative ease of installation, contemporary fireplaces are a perfect addition when you are looking to update your home. Let you imagination run wild, as you can find designs from a see thru look in your living room to an outdoor fire pit. If you have never had a fireplace, a portable electric fireplace might just be the ticket for your home.

So, if you are looking to update and modernize your home, think about adding the clean styling of a contemporary design while adding the ambience of a warm fireplace to dress it up.

Amy Butler’s Midwest Modern Book: A Fresh Design Spirit for the Modern Lifestyle $34.98 A complete lifestyle book, encompassing fashion, interiors, and gardens! Attention, design and style mavens! There’s a lot more to America than just the east and west coasts. Today, innovative American design—in clothing, home decor, even gardening—is emerging from the Midwest. So lay your bicoastal biases aside, and let Amy Butler show you what’s happening in the heartland.Helping her fans jumpstart their own creative spark is Butler’s fashion credo, and her approach has won her a huge following. Her “Mid Modâ€? philosophy—neither homespun nor haute couture—is as up to the minute as it is firmly rooted in Midwest tradition. Emphasizing simplicity and integrity of craft, Butler is passionate about recycling materials, reinventing vintage looks, and taking joy in the homemade. Her approach—drawing its inspiration from the natural world and the lives of real people—is organic in every sense of the word.Amy Butler’s Midwest Modern brings the many aspects of its author’s vision into focus, from re-imagining the home as a retreat for relaxation and dreaming, to picturing the body as a canvas for creating one’s personal style, to looking to nature as a “sketchbookâ€? for design ideas. Vibrantly illustrated, the book underscores design’s practical side, with information on budgeting money and time, a shopping resources list, and “how-toâ€? projects in every chapter.
